Back pain is not picky. Back pain may
choose any of us at any time whether we’re
stay-at-home people or out-in-the-world workers, active
military people or veterans. Chiropractic’s
reputation for relieving back pain sufferers persists
and grows in the civilian and veteran/military
care systems. The newer curiosity has been how
much chiropractic care is optimal for back pain relief.
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation follows this research since
military/veteran back pain resembles our civilian
Carrolltown back pain!
BACK PAIN INCIDENCE
80% of us will get back pain at some point
in our lives, in our youth, middle years, or elder age. 264 million
work days were documented to be lost in one year due
to back pain. (1) Carrolltown chiropractic care is created
to help all ages! Somewhere between 25 and 33% of older folks reportedly
experience low back pain each year. Low back pain for older adults is reported to be debilitating as it often limits their
independence and increases their doctor visits. A study that combined primary care
with chiropractic care for their back pain resulted in modest improvements in their disability and back pain and higher patient satisfaction and perceived
improvement over primary care alone. (2)
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees these same outcomes for our
Carrolltown back pain patients! Older patients with chronic low back
pain along with other medical issues who used
only chiropractic spinal manipulation for their back pain had lower
overall costs of care, shorter occurrences of back
pain, and lower costs of care per back pain episode. (3) Back
pain relief in a briefer time at less expense…a triple
bonus with Carrolltown chiropractic care for
back pain sufferers!
BACK PAIN CARE WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Like the rest of us, military personnel and veterans
experience back pain and experience relief
with chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic is well-integrated into
the VA system for veterans with low back pain and other musculoskeletal
conditions. A newly proposed study of chiropractic care in
Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities for low back pain seeks
to see if low dose (1 to 5 visits) or higher dose (eight to twelve visits) chiropractic care for 10 weeks is most beneficial
for chronic low back pain relief. (4) (The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management discovered in a study of 1000 back pain
patients that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean number of visits and days to get patients maximally improved. (5))
A similar finding was made when chiropractic care was added to usual medical care for active-duty military personnel who
had low back pain. Moderate short-term improvement in back pain disability
and intensity was reported.
Multidisciplinary care of back pain that involves
chiropractic is indicated as being beneficial. (6) The aim
of Carrolltown chiropractic for back pain sufferers – civilian and
military alike – is back pain relief. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is prepared to provide
that!
